STAR TOOL Small Barrel Plus Nail Drill Bit
The STAR TOOL Small Barrel Plus Drill Bit is designed for controlled shaping, smoothing, debulking, and product removal on artificial nail enhancements. Its compact barrel shape provides excellent control while still offering enough surface area to efficiently remove product.
Compared with a full-size barrel, the smaller design makes it easier to work on short nails, narrow nail beds, sidewalls, and detailed areas while maintaining precision.
Available in multiple grit levels for everything from smoothing and finishing to fast, heavy product removal.
